Optimism is a circumstance where we look on the brighter side of everything. An optimistic person keeps himself away from fear of failures. To such a person everything is easy to achieve. He deletes the word impossible from his life. He always hopes to succeed in whatever he indulges in. The story ‘We are not afraid to die’ very clearly and boldly prints out this idea. He did not give up his mission only because of his endless courage and optimistic view. He struggled and fought through the storm with unending courage.
He was thrown overboard but when he emerged to the surface he saw the ship being almost capsized. But nature and good fortune revived his optimism. A wave was about to straighten the ship. He held on to the railing which was touching the surface of the water. As the wave hurled her upright he was thrown back into the ship. In spite of worst injuries he survived. This he could achieve only because of optimism and tremendous courage. Every action Gordon Cook indulged in was an example of courage and exposure of the bright side of his life. To the last letter the story gives evidence of optimism and courage.
